Mimi, this is an excellant recipe. My family and I love it! I lowered the heat a little, to a med-low setting and I used egg yolks at room temp. I shaved the chocolate very fine. It came out very smooth and rich. Thanks!

I loved this recipe, although I had to wait until it started to bubble up for the chocolate to melt, which created a thick layer that appeared whenever I let it sit. I found it better and more laid back to use less/more of everything. I wouldn't even it all out :) I also recommend to allow siblings to stir! This is great in a parfait with ice cream and cream on top, but do not freeze the parfait, just eat it right on the spot, because it's impossible to pry loose the pudding otherwise. I love this recipe!

Wow! I was looking for milk chocolate pudding and this is it. I did add 1 tsp brown sugar with the butter and vanilla in the end. This adds flavor if you want to chill the mix. Keep in mind High Altitude requires a change in any liquid that needs cooking. Above 3000 feet add 2 min. Above 5000 feet add 4 min, Above 7000 feet add 6 min. The higher you go the longer it will take.

I just made this and it is wonderful!! It thickened up perfectly and has a beautiful dark, rich color and flavor. I increased the chocolate by 1/2 since I am a chocolate fiend, but everything else is exactly as written. One note for those who are having trouble with the eggs: you can just whisk them in with everything else at the beginning, and you should have absolutely no lumps at all. I always do it this way since it saves time and gets me to my pudding faster! Whisking will also keep away those icky corn starch lumps and help your chocolate melt evenly without burning. I'mm sorry to hear this wonderful recipe get bad marks just because people don't know how to make pudding.

There's a trick to get all of the chocolate to melt. Use a whisk!! This recipe turns out great! My kids just loved it. Also, add the egg yolks in a little at a time, not all at once. This will definitely go into my family's "favorites"!
